Elon is an idiot savant who happens to own a car company. I see him being pushed out by the board even further in the coming years and Tesla merging with one of the Big3 or even possibly taking over. The next few years are going to be a wild ride in the car business with 30 percent unemployment in the USA!

Bob Lutz is very smart and accomplished.
"He served as a top leader of all of the United States Big Three, having been in succession executive vice president of Ford Motor Company, president and then vice chairman of Chrysler Corporation, and vice chairman of General Motors. (wiki)"
Age doesn't have anything to do with it. I actually find your comment "shadow" offensive and pretty stupid.
Bob's comments on Jeep were about Brand Recognition and the value of that brand. He's a 30,000 foot guy. He would not know about the sand casting problem unless it got huge. Typically something like that would be 1 line, "Warranty Cost" and a cost associated with all warranty issues lumped together on a "white paper". Been there. Done that.
